luajit is also not supported on mips. The easiest way to deal with this is to --disable-luatex during configuration. I'm not sure what the consequences of that would be so I'll defer to the TeX herd.

Is it possible to introduce a USE flag for --disable-luajittex and will texlive then use LuaTeX instead, or would this disable features we actually need?
This is a summary of all `failed' messages: `luajittex -ini -jobname=luajittex -progname=luajittex luatex.ini' failed * ERROR: dev-texlive/texlive-basic-2014::gentoo failed (compile phase): * failed to build format texmf-dist/fmtutil/format.texlive-basic.cnf I guess not. :-\

But I thought you were going to just add this to a 2014-r5. Anyhow my original need for 2014 was in amd64 and that's done. We can revisit this for ppc64, mips and any other arches where luajit isn't supported when we go to stabilize 2015. Maybe leave this bug open until then so we don't forget?

Sorry, late to the party, but this also affects alpha. I'll add the USE-mask in a minute. Am I right in assuming that bug 550840 is irrelevant for the non-amd64 archs now?

I think we still want these packages stabilized on non-amd64 arches, we just have to mask luajittex on those arches.

But the 2014 series doesn't have that USE flag and the other bug indicates that they never will.
Hi, I am working on a ppc64 RAP prefix and I am still suffering from this with texlive-core-2016. `--disable-luajittex` is properly passed to configure but the logic to disable it is subtly broken, probably because there two names `luajit
Hi, I am working on a ppc64 RAP prefix and I am still suffering from this with texlive-core-2016. `--disable-luajittex` is properly passed to configure but the logic to disable it is subtly broken, probably because there two names `luajit` and `luajittex`. In particular there is `need_luajit` frb15@p7login-c /dev/shm/portage/app-text/texlive-core-2016/work/texlive-20160523-source $ grep -r need_luajit * configure: need_luajit=yes configure: need_luajit=yes libs/configure: need_luajit=yes libs/configure: need_luajit=yes libs/configure: test "x$with_system_luajit" != xyes && test "x$need_luajit" = xyes && MAKE_SUBDIRS="luajit $MAKE_SUBDIRS" texk/web2c/configure: need_luajit=yes texk/web2c/configure: need_luajit=yes texk/configure: need_luajit=yes texk/configure: need_luajit=yes utils/configure: need_luajit=yes utils/configure: need_luajit=yes There is no mechanism to flip it to `no`. And in `libs/configure` that variable will put the luajit directory in MAKE_SUBDIRS. The logic ending with `need_luajit=yes` is very hard to decipher.
Found it! In texlive-core-2016 at least it is not enough to pass `--disable-luajittex` to disable luajit. You also need to pass `--disable-mfluajit`. Doing so I was able to merge texlive-core-2016 on ppc64.

closing since this is fixed in 2015+
sparc is also affected.
